Club Career
Du Ping started his football career in the 1998 Chinese league season with top tier football club Shenyang Jinde where he would gradually establish himself as talented attacking midfielder. His performances for his club would soon see him called up to the Chinese international team and on February 16, 2003 he would make his debut against Estonia in a friendly, which saw China win 1-0. By the 2004 Chinese league season, league runners-up Inter Shanghai purchase him for Four million Yuan, however in his debut season a poor run of form and injuries saw him only limited to six league games without scoring. While he would overcome his injuries the following season his performances were not as inspiring as the club were hoping for and the team finished the league in eighth.
In 2007 he joined Hong Kong First Division League club South China on loan and made his debut for the team in a First Division League match against Workable as a substitution player on 26 September 2007 where SCAA won by 6-1. On 16 October 2007, it was released on SCAA Official Blog that the contract with Du Ping was terminated due to his discipline problem. The issue was mainly due to a quarrel between Du Ping and teammate Detinho before a match against Citizen on 13 October 2007. Detinho also received a verbal warning after the incident. After his brief period within Hong Kong, Du would return to China and tranferred to second tier club Shenyang Dongjin before joining third tier football team Panjin Mengzun in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
